There were showers outside and inside!! (with pics & a surprise)

So today after much drama, tears and BS, I finally had my shower. It was a small group, maybe 20 people, but I still felt the love from everyone. I must say I am still not used to being the center of attention like that!! I have to get used to the flashes of cameras going off like paparazzi!!

I managed to escape without being put through the hat of bows, and instead had a bo-k of bows. I also escaped having a bridal gown of toilet paper made onto me!!

Andrew and I were grateful for the utter generosity of everyone, including some people that were not even that close to us!!

To my 06 girls (and Ron): You guys shocked me the most of all. I think my reaction (caught on videotape by Darlene) pretty much said it all. I was stunned beyond words. Rarely can anyone catch me speechless, and you guys pulled it off. I am still stunned by all of your extreme generosity, and I will never forget that. You all have very lucky men, and I can only hope to repay this tremendous debt tenfold!!! If you guys ever need me for anything, you know where to reach me. Thank you all a million times over!!!!!

Side note to Ron: I forgive you for going in and deleting my incoming FMs, but you did miss about 4 or 5 of them!!! What can I say?? That was really amazing of you to help them out. Can't wait to see you and Liz on the 30th so I can give you guys a hug!!!

Congratulations, Janna! I can't wait to see some pics. And yes, I'm thoroughly confused about the surprise...can someone explain?

I wasn't in on the surprise, but Darlene informed me at a GTG what she and some other LIW brides were planning for Janna - as a gift to Janna from them, they purchased Janna her videographer for her wedding day.

ETA - The photos look wonderful! Glad to see the bride to be and the LIW brides had some fun!!

I was trying not to mention anything about it just yet, because I was going to put the details in my review.....but yes, Jaime, Darlene, Theresa, Mel & Leslie all chipped in and got Andrew & I our videographer for the wedding!!! We both really appreciate it!! Thanks again!!

Wow! That was so sweet and generous of them! You deserve it girl! So happy all is coming together for you!
